The objective of the project is to support the Commission Services of the European Communities, Member State Authorities and EU organisations in their efforts t o prevent and prepare for natural disasters and accidents, and to manage their consequences. A main NEDIES activity is to produce lessons learnt report on natural disasters and accidents. This report discusses lessons learnt from maritime disasters. It is based on the contributions submitted by some EU Civil Protection Authorities to the NEDIES Team and also information collected from literature and the Internet.

This web-based Information System is currently being developed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (Institute for Energy) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The background, design principles and operating regime are described. The result is a conceptually new and innovative event database approach.

Approximately 100,000 m3 of a high cyanide and heavy metal containing wastewater were discharged into the receiving creeks, and from there onwards into the river network of the Danube Basin (Somes/Szamos; Tisza and the Danube). In the same region, another tailing dam broke in Baia Borsa on 10 March 2000, due to a severe rainfall spilling 40,000 tons of heavy metals-containing sediments. These two serious accidents with a transboundary impact initiated a rapid response within both the ICPDR and the EU. The paper summarizes the most important activities undertaken by the Romanian authorities responsible for water management activities. These activities were undertaken in order to minimize the Natech accident effects and to assure the effectiveness of the corrective measures implemented, in orde...

However, such drainage basins are susceptible to inundations. Existing flood frequency estimation techniques are not able to predict efficiently flood peaks and volumes on permeable drainage basins. The paper reviews analytical design guidelines and investigates the merits and limits of using groundwater head and river flow data in flood estimation for permeable drainage basins. A methodology for the identification of a critical groundwater head threshold, beyond which there is a relatively higher risk of flooding is proposed. The rock type of chalk has been chosen as the main focus of this study.

The problem of safety comparison and risk/benefit communication is of critical importance for sustainable decision-making. For the specific case of the energy sector, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (DG JRC) and DG TREN (Directorate General for Transport and Energy) have recently started two connected initiatives, called Energy Risks Monitor (ERMON) and Safety & Security of Energy Infrastructures in a ComparativeView (SEIF-CV). While ERMON deals with developing a methodology and corresponding decision support tool to cross-compare in a consistent way safety, risk and reliability performances of different energy systems across their specific fuel cycle chains, SEIF-CV creates a network of st...

They attempt to represent a general approach to the concept of accident investigation across sectors and national borders in Europe. Safety investigation of accidents is a field which is improving and expanding. The ambition of these guidelines is to reflect the state of the art in accident investigation as well to address its future challenges. It was found important and challenging to balance the need for referring to the scientific background and theoretical framework with the objective of formalising practical guidelines for the future users of the guidelines. The contents of this publication are summarised below. Chapter 1 presents the main motivations for these guide...
